Garth Brook\'s signature song from 1990 is arranged for solo mountain dulcimer in 1-5-8 or DAD tuning by Elaine Conger. The intermediate level player will find the arrangement mildly challenging due to the numerous three finger chords and syncopated rhythms.

The arrangement makes use of a capo. You will also need a 1 fret on your dulcimer.

The download includes TWO VERSIONS. Version one is a full score. It includes the tablature, standard musical notation, lyrics and guitar accompaniment chords. Version two includes the tab only, which condenses the arrangement into fewer pages, making it easier to read and play.
